[quote=Anonymous]I understand. I am a socially liberal, but fiscally conservative person. I like some aspects of both candidates. However, I believe that we need to vote for a Democrat this election. Why? Because 4 of the 9 Supreme Court justices are age 70+. And one, is 64. That means that almost 2/3 of the Supreme Court will be over standard retirement age during the next President's term. While, that means nothing to a bench judge, the average age of retirement was 68 pre-1970 and 79 post-1970. So with Ginsburg at 79, Kennedy and Scalia at 76, and Breyer at 74, it is likely that one or more of them will retire in the next term. In fact, in the last 30 years, one-term presidents have averaged closer to two replacements per term. Other problems are solved in years. Changing the demographics of the Supreme Court takes decades. At this point, for those socially liberal viewpoints that you uphold, you may not be able to afford to vote for Romney. [/quote]
